Coordinating Optimisation of Complex Industrial Processes. (COCOP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,
The vision of COCOP is that complex process-industry plants are optimally run by operators with the guidance of a coordinating, real-time optimisation system. COCOP will strengthen the global position of the European process industry, which represents 20 per cent of the European manufacturing base with around 450,000 companies generating €1.6 billion in turnover and 6.8 million jobs.The project’s ...

Development of a sustainable exploitation scheme for Europe’s Rare Earth ore deposits (EURARE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
With numerous European industries heavily depended on imported REE raw materials, there is a need for EU to secure a viable supply of REE minerals as well as develop from the ground up the currently non-existent European REE extraction and processing industry. The goal of the EURARE project will be (i) to characterize the potential REE resources in Europe; and (ii) to research, develop, optimize a ...

CAScade deoxygenation process using tailored nanoCATalysts for the production of BiofuELs from lignocellullosic biomass (CASCATBEL)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The present project is aimed to the development of a multi-step process for the production of second-generation biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass in a cost-efficient way through the use of tailored nanostructured catalysts. The proposed process is based on the cascade combination of three catalytic transformations: catalytic pyrolysis, intermediate deoxygenation and hydrodeoxygenation. The seq ...

Sustainable Technologies for Calcined Industrial Minerals in Europe (STOICISM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Europe is a major global producer of industrial minerals. Around 180 million tonnes per year of products are extracted in the EU, with an estimated contribution of €10 billion to European GDP and offering direct employment to some 42,500 people. A secure supply of sustainable mineral products is essential to maintaining the European mining, mineral and manufacturing industries.The main objective ...

Ultra Conductive Copper-Carbon Nanotube Wire (UltraWire)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The most common traditional materials used in electrical energy distribution systems are copper and copper alloys. Modern applications show an increasing demand for better heat and electric current carrying capacity at the level beyond copper base materials. Nanocarbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have attracted attention due to their high electrical, thermal conductivity and e ...

Sustainable sewage sludge management fostering phosphorus recovery and energy efficiency (P-REX)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Phosphorus is one essential element of life, which can neither be produced synthetically nor substituted by any other substance. Its importance as plant nutrient is emphasized by the huge amount of 975 000 tons of phosphorus annually imported into Europe to sustain good harvests. While phosphorus is a limited fossil element, its extensive recovery from “secondary deposits” is of paramount importan ...
